Want an easy way to prevent/heal injuries as a runner or cyclist without stopping running/cycling?

Most devoted runners and cyclist are amazed at how much of a difference just 1 or 2 Pilates workouts per week can make in how their body feels and how it keeps them from getting those recurring injuries that often sideline them from their favorite exercise!   

One of my favorite quotes from Joseph Pilates says, “Physical fitness is the attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body and a sound mind, fully capable of naturally, easily and satisfactorily performing our many and varied daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure.”     Joe makes the point that our exercise time should be devoted to training our body to be balanced out so that we can do all of things we need to do and want to do in life on a daily basis with ease.   

Joseph Pilates clearly created his exercise method with the purpose of giving people a way to easily train their body so that they could feel their best in whatever they wanted to do in life.  If you are a runner or cyclist than your “physical fitness time” should definitely include time to balance out the muscles in your body so that you can run and bike with ease and without injuries.  

If you are one of those people who have found a love for running or cycling (or maybe both) in your life than I’m guessing that regularly getting this cardio based exercise in your life has been fabulous for keeping you fit and healthy over the years (so fit you probably haven’t had to do much else for exercise).  I’m also guessing that over the years you’ve had an occasional injury or ailment that quite possibly could be the result of the repetitiveness of your cardio fitness training.  It seems kind of silly that someone who is running and biking so much in their life should have to add more exercise time in their life to stay healthy….but as crazy as it seems adding just a little bit of Pilates training time to your life will allow you to do more of what you love and will keep you from getting sidelined with injuries that keep you from your favorite cardio exercise! 

How does Pilates help?

Runners and cyclists tend to use the same muscles groups over and over again for long periods of time.  In a nutshell this pattern creates imbalance in the body and imbalances often lead to injury. Pilates focuses on creating more balance in the entire body by stretching tight muscles and strengthening weak underused muscles. 

The Pilates method is very efficient and accomplishes both the stretching and strengthening on each exercise you perform.  What this means for you is you won’t have to sit and stretch and do individual strengthening exercises to get the balance work you need to keep yourself healthy.  Each workout is designed to strengthen and balance the entire body efficiently so you have more time to do the things you love! 

Since I’m guessing you don’t want to have to stop doing your favorite cardio exercise due to an injury, my best advice (and Joe’s too!) would be to add 1 or 2 Pilates workouts per week that will help you balance out your body, prevent injuries, help you feel better in your body and even improve how your cardio feels!  Interested in learning more about how Pilates can help keep you running and biking without injury or pain?

Such a great studio. Warm and inviting while at the same time challenging. The studio is state of the art and instructors are well educated in their profession. There are the big box studios popping up everywhere and then there is Precision Pilates. A head above the rest. Highly recommend.

Amy and her staff are wonderful! Everyone is genuinely concerned for your physical health and development. I am so thankful that I found them when I did! They are the best at what they do and would highly recommend them.

My wife has been a person who never felt comfortable about doing exercise classes, but Precision Pilates has given her a comfortable atmosphere that has made all the difference. The instructors give her the perfect amount of direction and motivation and she comes home loving each and every class. If you have ever been curious about Pilates I would recommend Precision Pilates to you!

After being diagnosed with osteoporosis, I decided to start Pilates to improve strength and balance. I was thrilled to learn that Precision Pilates offered a class specifically dedicated to those with Osteopenia and Osteoporosis. The experience has been fabulous! The studio is spotless. The equipment is new and well maintained and the instructors are knowledgeable and pleasant. Stephanie, in particular, is a joy—bubbly, patient, and always focused on safety. I leave every session feeling stronger and supported. Highly recommend!

Everyone at the studio has been welcoming, kind, and accommodating. I was very anxious trying something new, but Amy (owner) answered my millions of questions and got me in some private lessons to start. Nicole (instructor) really helped to ease me into Pilates and made it simple to understand. They just moved to a nice bright new studio, and I love the small class sizes. If you’re looking to do Pilates in a non intimidating environment this is the place to go!

I am 60+ years old with neck, back, and knee issues and was very nervous about starting Pilates. Amy and team made me feel welcome and helped me overcome my anxiety, which led to my becoming a member after taking some private lessons and introductory classes. The studio is beautiful and clean, and the instructors are very motivating. Classes are small, which allows the instructors to focus on everyone as individuals, which is very important to those like me who need modifications. I highly recommend Precision Pilates!

She takes time to provide feedback and encouragement to everyone in the group. She is honestly perfect for a first timer like me. The facility is very clean and well taken care of inside. It has been a pleasure to start my Pilates journey with you!

In an effort to get more business, one of the staff members advised, I could push my classes out a few weeks, but then the owner wouldn't honor that after I had been going. Places clean I don't think the junior staff is experienced enough

I discovered this studio on June 5th, reached out for more information on June 6th, started classes on June 8th, and have been attending classes twice a week ever since. Amy is fantastic. She is super supportive and extremely knowledgeable and clearly cares about her clients. The staff is also friendly and supportive, and the studio is bright and open. The schedule is packed with tons of options for all levels, starting as early as 6:30am or as late as 7:30pm depending on the day; the instructors are all amazing. Thanks to them, I'm already starting to see changes in myself, both physically and mentally. Precision Pilates has been a wonderful addition to my fitness routine! P.S. My husband (who recently started classes with Amy) said to say 'Ditto' for his review...lol)

I gave up on ever feeling relief or potentially bettering my condition with scoliosis. I took my first introduction class today with Amy and it’s filled my heart with hope. I immediately felt the difference in my body, and just like anything else in life.. consistency is key. I cannot wait to continue my journey with classes at Precision Pilates!

Precision Pilates is an excellent studio! I highly recommend! The semi private classes and dedicated instructors have made a HUGE difference. There are different class levels that provide a challenge at my own pace. The knowledgeable instructors watch your form to make sure you are doing the exercises correctly, and provide modifications, if needed. I have lost weight and inches! After my first 3 months, I had a 70% pain reduction in my neck, back, shoulders and knees! I am stronger, more flexible, and fitter than I have been in 25 years! Update: Best Pilates Teacher Training Center! I just completed the Beginner Mat teacher training at Precision Pilates. Amy and her staff have extensive experience and expertise in classical Pilates and exercise physiology. The training was very thorough and intensive yet presented in an organized and simplified manner that ensures you learn the material by the end of the weekend. They make you feel welcomed, inspired and supported the whole way. Thank you for being great teachers!

I visited Precision Pilates for the first time to complete my first Pilates Teacher Training. I was truly impressed by the place and the way we were taught. Everything was very professional and well-designed. After only three days I felt much more knowledgeable and that I gained new, valuable skills to my profession. Besides that, Precision Pilates is very clean and organized. I felt really good in this space. I highly recommend!

After spending last weekend getting my 1st core mat certification, I’m really excited for comprehensive certification this year. Owner/instructor Amy Hirsch is a Power Pilates Teacher Trainer and Precision Pilates is a host studio…. So you can get classically certified and all your practical hours in right here on Long Island. It was such a challenging but great time during my last weekend that I’m really psyched for the coming weekends. If you want a recognized certification and are ready to learn and have fun, come join us!!
